Job Search Writing Considerations
- Know both the individual’s and business objectives. Unlike the company goals, individual priorities and selling points can vary.
- A marketing director may want help defining a brand. A CFO may be prioritized with the saving money on campaigns.
- Use an intriguing subject. Instead of “Thank You” or “Checking-In”, try “A Few Positive Takeaways” or “Some Perceptions.”
- When people think they know what’s in an email the less likely they are to prioritize and / or closely read it.
